Microsoft Research has unveiled three new search projects aimed to enhance your search experience. Here are the details:
SearchTogether: SearchTogether is an IE plugin for social search. It lets you and your friends search together via an IE sidebar. The plugin, which will be available in Spring 2008 features page rating, split searching, shared summaries, chat, and more.
CoSearch: CoSearch lets users who are using the same computer at the same time search together by using multiple mice or cell phones. Yes, cell phones! A person using a phone could move the cursor on the screen and transfer data to the phone.
Searchbar: Searchbar is an IE sidebar that lets you save your searches, organize them, and add notes about them.

That was sarcasm. Truth to be told, all this social bull**** makes me want to smash my head into my desk.
I hope someone gets that...
#1: "Where did you get that information?"
#2: "I searched for something like 'bleh'"
#1: *searches for 'bleh', gets nothing relevant*
#1: "Are you sure that's what you searched for?"
#2: "Nope, but it was similar"
Being able to group search would eliminate annoying situations like that, because it would be recorded.
